What's Happening?

Let's Play Catch Up!

First, we want to say "thank you" to everybody who came to the "pretend party" that was held at my blog for my Mommy's birthday... Pop-Pop, Grammy, Godmomie Latoya, Cousin Shirley Ann, Cousin Ina, Cousin Melanie, Cousin Miles, Cousin Najah, Cousin Samaya, Cyber Lurker, and Black Wolf. She got all of your birthday wishes and presents... a vacation to Jamaica, 2 cars, a laptop computer, some jewelry, an enigma, a pet rock, some dentures, and I gave her a chia pet! We celebrated her birthday with a family trip to the movies and a meal at her favorite restaurant, Bahama Breeze, in King of Prussia.

Well, I've been 2 years old for one month and 4 days and it's really been fun! Now, I can do all kinds of "big boy" things... like go up and down the steps in my house, knock on a door when it is closed (and burst right in), feed myself with a spoon (But, what's the deal with forks?), cover my mouth when I cough, open something called a "refrigerator" (and slam it shut), and sit on something called a "potty" (but, not actually put anything in it). My Mommy recently got me something called an "umbrella" and I can hold it up all by myself in the rain. When I'm coming home from day care with Grammy, she lets me lead the way when we get on the block where we live and she follows me right up to our house. That's right... I know where I live!

"Big boys" don't make sounds, they talk... so, I've been working on talking too. Sometimes, I don't like to play "the repeat game" when other people try to teach me new words. Grammy said that's because I'm a "leader" and not a "follower" whatever that means). But, when Iwant to talk, I can say a lot of new words and something Grammy calls "phrases"... like "Pop-Pop", "Mama", "clock", "off", "paper", "hello", "bye-bye", "book", "box", "poop", "TV", "baby", "tracks", "apple", "tongue", "help", "up", "down", "water", "what's that", "thank you", "wake up", and "see you later". I even talk back to the TV sometimes, just like my Pop-Pop! When I'm not watching Thomas & Friends, I like to watch my favorite game show, "Blue's Clues". I can always find the clues (paw prints) but, I don't know what they mean??? I also like to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and pick out the tools that Mickey needs to use when he calls "Tootles" for help. I don't always get it right but, it's fun just the same.

Another "big boy" thing I want to tell you about is (Grammy said, "drum roll please")... my Mommy let me spend my first night away from home! On Valentine's Day weekend, I spent Saturday night with my Godmomie Latoya and Godpopie Justin at their house. I always have a good time whenever I'm with them but, this time was really special because I got a chance to sleepover. I can't wait to do it again! Sorry, no pics this time.

As for day care, I'm still learning my alphabets, numbers, shapes, and colors but, arts and crafts is still my favorite! Mommy got me this really big mat called an "Aqua Doodle" that I can put on the floor. It comes with a marker that I can fill with water and use to draw on the mat. She also got me the "big boy" size Doodle Pro!

Since I don't have any pics of myself to share in this post, me and Grammy thought it would be nice if I showed you some more of the artwork that I did at day care. I hope you like it!

P.S. Kudos to Cousin Miles for noticing and commenting that I had "no hair" in the post about me and my Mommy spending QT with my Thomas & Friends train set. I went to the barber shop for a haircut just a few days before those pics were taken. Mommy is planning to send me to the barber shop again this weekend... Will I ever have hair again???

TO: My Mommy

Welcome To The Party!

I Need Your Help...

Today is my Mommy's birthday and I want to make this the best birthday ever. I'm too young to give her a real birthday party so, my Grammy helped me put together something called a "pretend party". As you can see, the room is all set and you are my guest so, make yourself at home. If you have a minute, please leave my Mommy a birthday wish and/or present. I know that would put a big smile on her face and make her very happy.

Thank you dropping by and helping me with the pretend party. Grammy said to make sure you get a slice of "pretend birthday cake" before you leave!

It's A Thomas Affair

Today, me and my Mommy got a chance to spend (something she calls) "quality time" playing with my Thomas & Friends train set. We set-up our own Island of Sodor on the something called the "living room coffee table". I learned how to connect my track pieces but, we worked together to set the whole thing up.

I never told you which train pieces I got for Christmas so, I'll tell you now. I have Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Diesel 10, Annie, Clarabelle, Toby, the Troublesome Trucks, Bertie (the bus), Harold (the helicopter), Sir Topham Hatt, and 3 circus cars with 4 animals. I also have the Sodor Mail Station and Engine Wash. Mommy said that we can add on more train pieces as time goes on.

After everything was all set up, we had a great time playing with it. Even Pop-Pop joined in on the fun while he was watching something called the "Super Bowl". Here are the pics and a little trivia for you...

Q. There's something different about the way I look in all of these pics...Can you figure out what it is and note it in the comments?

Statement of Purpose

My Grammy started this blog for me when I was 6 months old and she is my voice until I can speak for myself. It is a place where I can share my life journey with others, learn about new things, just have fun, and one day read about all the things that I've done. And, now that I have a little sister, she has been included in the mix too. If you would like to meet my Grammy, just click on the "Grammy Bear"!
